Have The Tories Really Gone Mad, And Plan To Take Us Back To The Use Of Imperial Units?
19 Answers
I can’t believe anyone born after 1960 would be able to make any sense of such a plan – perhaps we should go the whole hog and use shillings and pence.
Good thing I haven’t thrown out my old imperial spanner/socket set.

Tyre measurements still use a mixture of metric and imperial.
I like metric for calculations but like many people still know my weight in stones not kg, my height in ft and inches, travelling distances in miles. Ask 100 people there weight or height, even young people, and I guess 90% will give imperial answers

There seems to be a lot of mythology surrounding the EU/UK and metric/imperial debate. The EU did not exclude any measures they just stipulated that the metric equivalent should be specified and even then UK had exemptions for pints, miles etc. Similarly here the UK is not forcing anything on anyone.
When working in education before I retired I had a group of ladies who were doing basic maths. One of the younger ones told me she did not "do" imperial as she was too young and was only taught metric. I asked her what size of shoes she wore - oh 5s. How tall are you - 5'2". What approx do you weigh - oh about 9st 5lbs. I then asked her to give me those in metric and she hadn't clue (neither did I by the way). We all had a good laugh and agreed imperial and metric could exist side by side.

keep your eye off the ball I quite like the resulting posts
Remember ---- er never dismiss the role of sheer incompetence in a good going cack up. I think she ( Rosie that is!)- rosie the wrecker, rosie the farage slayer - thought that it wd all blow over and Farage wd be off her hands. No change and she cd get on with debanking the non-woke
What DOESN'T seem to hvae been taken into account ( this is not too rambly for AB is it) that debanking seems to means watchlist
so other banks are told to beware of X - and are not aware that it is because he is non-woke - - that is THEY wd not have ebanked on the same critieria
There is case law on this

case law that the decisions of quasi legal tribunals ( Coutts debanking jobbie) should NOT be taken on board as decisions in other venues. It should be reheard - ( because the evidence and its admissibility may be different)
spot on _ towargnaze perhaps - I didnt note it as I thought 'yeah obvious really'
